The Curragh win is worth noting for more than sentimental reasons. It is Ireland's most prestigious flat track, the place where the country's best horses are tested at the highest level. Winning there, at any stage of a career, is not something that happens by accident. It tells you something about the ceiling this horse might have.
The Piper's Call is trained by Daniel McLoughlin out of Newbridge in County Kildare — a yard that has already sent out nine winners this season, suggesting a well-run operation that knows how to have horses ready to perform. With a race as recently as yesterday, The Piper's Call is clearly in good health and being kept busy, which trainers only tend to do when a horse is thriving.
The recent form — a fifth, then the win, then a third, then a second reading back from most recent — is actually a good shape for a young horse. It found its best, won, and has continued to run well either side of it. That kind of consistency from a 3-year-old is encouraging. At this stage of a career, the story is still being written, but the opening chapter is a solid one.
